Please write in detail about your interest in the Raspberry Pi platform and/or artificial intelligence, and point out your areas of expertise.

Please also answer the following questions, to allow me to gauge your technical skills (you don't need to have 100 % of them correct):

  • what do the following shell commands do:
    • cd
    • man
    • grep
  • how does deep learning work (roughly)?

Also, please include some sample articles, or links to content you have written in the past. Ideally this should be of a technical nature, not necessarily Raspberry Pi or Coral-related.

Looking forward to your application!
